Hey everyone~ I've been thinking lately of starting up another 90g saltwater tank ((will it ever stop?)), and I have a couple of questions about triggerfish. The first is, is it true that the huma huma is one of the nicest of the triggers? What other fish if any, can you keep with one? The more...

I think I need to clarify things a bit. I already have 3 saltwater tanks, and I've been keeping saltwater tanks for over 2 yrs. now. It just seems to me that my interest in freshwater is waning. I feel that I am somehow "betraying" my freshwater fish and even myself in some way. When I started...

:cry: I've been keeping freshwater fish for a long, long time. Ever since I was a kid. I've kept all kinds too, from native U.S. fish to cichlids, etc... Right now, I have 2 freshie tanks. The one is a beautiful heavily planted tank that could definitely be entered in the AGA contest. But you...

Aside from what's already been said, you can also put a sponge over the intake. You just have to be sure that you clean (rinse) them at least every week. This is also a plus if you have any anemones in the tank as they can't get sucked into the powerhead with this as a cover. Again, you must...

Thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!

I had some time to kill this weekend, and I decided to switch some tanks around. The 20g high SW tank was switched to a 20g regular and I must say the rockwork is much better looking in there! Everything came out okay with the exception of the cucumber. When I did the change, all the parameters...

Your tank is cycled when ammonia and nitrite read 0. Nitrates can vary with the bio-load in the tank, but generally should be at or below 20.

Ohhhhhhhhh :D very, very nice!!! I love the colors on the horses!!!

To echo what others have said, your clown doesn't need an anemone at all. Aside from what has already been suggested, you can also try a featherduster....yes, that's right a featherduster. One of the large ones. My clown has been hosting in it for a couple of months now, and there seems to be no...

I can't wait to see! Hahahahaha....heart attack from walking too far!! :lol:

Your fish will be fine in the cooler for a couple of days if need be. As long as you have the LR in there, heater, powerhead and lights, everything should be fine. Since you are still cycling though, it wouldn't hurt to check the water parameters and do a small water change if necessary. When I...

That is so great! Man, why can't I have friends like that? :x

Yup, that's the stuff. You'll need enough to make at least 3" of sandbed. I don't envy you on doing this, but it will be nice when it's done! Good luck!!

The flame angel would be fine IMO, the powder blue is iffy. As much as I like that fish, I have read that they are rather difficult and I don't know how well it will do with a yellow tang already in residence. BTW, how do you like your harlequin shrimp? I think they are awesome shrimp, but I'm...

How big of a tank is this and how much live rock do you have in the tank? The reason I ask is that it would be much easier to remove the rocks, inverts and fish to another container while you do this. A large plastic cooler with a lid will work well. All you do is put some tank water in there...
